CAPE DUTCH VERY ACTIVE.
Farmars Throughout the Colony Buying Arms
and Ammunition in Large Quantities.
Reports from all the Dutch districts
throughout Cape Colony -
fect that the farmers are securing arms
re to the ef
and ammunition, the latter in unusual
quantities. .In Cape Town the dealers
have almost exhausted their supplies
and are ordering more. No reason is
given- for these purchases except that
game is plenty and that the farmers

ire
solent, especially toward the Dutch.
The authorities have not succeeded
in tracing any connection between th
Boers of the Transvaal, now in arms, and
the Dutch agitators in Cape Colony,
but no doubt is entertained that such
connection exists, and that the forme
are encouraged to resistance by hope
that the latter will rise against English
rule.
Advices from Pretoria show that the
Boers are more active than for a long
time past. The British forces exercise
no authority beyond their own lines,
and any small force apart {rom ‘he

DEWETSDORP TAKEN.
Four Hundred of Europe's Pride Gave Up
After a Long and Bitter Battle.
Great Britain Alarmed.
Lord Roberts cables from Johannes-
burg, under date of Wednesday: “The
Dewetsdorp garrison, of two guns of
the Sixty-eighth field battery, with de-
tachments of the Gloucestershire regi-
ment, the Highland Light infantry and
Irish Rifles. 400 in all, have surrend
ed to the Boers. Our losses were 15
men killed and 42 wounded, including
Maj. Johnson and Capt. Digby. The
enemy is said to be 2,500 strong. Four-
teen hundred were dispatched from Ed-
enburg to relieve Dewetsdorp, but did
not succeed in reaching there in time=.
Knox joined his force and found De-
wetsdorp evacuated. Seventy-five sick
and wounded had been leit there. Knox
pursued and is reported to have suc-
cessfully engaged Steyn and Dewet near
Vaalbank. They retired west and south-
west. Knox's messenoer failed to get
through, so I have no details.”
The disaster at Dewetsdorp has sent
a thrill of alarm through Great Britain.
Independent accounts of the subsequent
recapture of Dewetsdorp give ample de-
tails, not omitting to announce the cap-
ture of two Boer wagons and a quantity
of loot; but there is not the slightest
troops and two guns, which were not
even disabled, as the Boers were able to
use them against the British relief
forces. The ubiquitous Dewet seems
again to have gotten away, and there 1s
no news that the captured British have
been liberated.
Taking into consideration the enig-
matical military situation north of the
Orange river, the smoldering rebellion
in Cape Colony, the rumors that France
has promised Kruger to press arbitra-
tion on England if he is able to obtain
the support of Germany, and that Gen.
Kitchener is not to be given the chief
command in South Africa, the British
government will meet the new parlia-
ment next week at an exceedingly op-
portune moment. No attempt is made
to conceal the extreme irritation caused
by the adoption of a resolution of sym-
pathy with Kruger by the French cham-
ber of deputies. The London morning
papers are unanimous in declaring that
ro intervention of any kind will be al-
lowed to change the British policy.
LARGE SUM OF GOLD.
U.S. Treasury Ho!ds Nearly Five Hundred
Millions in Yellow Metal.
The largest stock of gold coin and
bullion ever held in the United States
is now accumulated in the treasury and
its branches. The total has been ris-
ing steadily during the whole of the
present year, and is now $474.108,330,
or about $76,000,000 greater than at the
close of 189g.
This gold is not all the direct property
gold certificates. The |
:5 the amount in the
treasury and its branches, was $230,-
755.800 Wednesday. All the remaining |
gold, amounting to about $243,000,000,
belongs to the treasury as a part of the
reserve fund of $150,000,000.
The gold supply of the country on the
last day of 1806 was estimated at $692,-
047,212. The estimated amount Ncvem
ber 1. 1000, was $1,080,027.407, and it is
probable that the report for December 7
will show at least $1,100,000,000. The
treasury officials are confident that the
round sum oi $475,000,000 in treasury
gold holdings will soon be attained, and
that even $500,000,000 is not beyond rea-
sonable expectation.
THRASHED BY WOMEN.
Mormon Elders Roughly Treated in South
Hungary by Irate Citizens.
Advices received from Temesvar,
South Hungary, record the rough treat-
ment received there by two Mormon
elders, emissaries from Salt Lake City,
Utah. The two elders had hardly com-
menced to enunciate their views on po-
lygamy when the audience stormed the
platform and ejected the men from the
hall. One of them was compelled 10
run a gauntlet, being prodded with
sticks and beaten with straps or knot:
ted cords. He was afterward stripped
to the waist and thrashed by half a
dozen matrons of Temesvar. The sec-
ond Mormon was ducked in a horse
pond.
The minister of the interior has pro-
hibited further Mormon attempts to
proselyte as being a danger to the well-
being of the state.
BAD RAILROAD WRECK.
A Score of People Killed In Mexican Disaster.
Americans Flee.
A terrible wreck in which a score of
persons were killed and about 60 hurt,
occurred on the Mexican Central rail-
way between Tamanacha and Symon, 30
miles south of Jumilico, in the valley
at the foot of two immense hills. At
the time both trains were running 30
miles an hour. One of the trains had
on board a construction crew number-
ing 130 men. The other was a freight
train of 35 empty cars. Three engines
and about 40 cars were piled up 30 feet
high. Two American train employees
were forced to flee to avoid being
lynched.
Mexicans and Jndlans Eattle.
News oi a fierce battle between Mexi-
can regulars and Yaqui Indians is told
by two American miners, who were
prospecting about 40 miles from Coy-
apa, Mexico, when the Indians made
them prisoners and ransacked their
camp. Troops were dispatched in pur-
suit of the Indians as soon as it became
known that the Americans had been car-
ried off. The Indians entrapped the
Mexicans in a narrow defile of the
mountains, and when the Mexicans fin-
ally withdrew they leit 20 dead. The
battle then continued at long range.
While it was in progress the Americans
escaped to El Paso, Tex. Six Indians
were killed or wound

Spectators at a Foot Ball Game Dumped Into
Fiery Furnaces—Twenty-One Dead,
One Hundrek Injured.
Twenty-one people are known to have
been killed by the collapse of the roof
of the Pacific glass works Thursday
afternoon while the roof was crowded
with men and boys watching the game
between the foot ball teams of the Uni-
versity of California and Leland Stan-
ford university at San Francisco.
Two hundred men and boys had gath-
ered on the sheet iron roof of the glass
works to obtain a free view of the foot
ball game. About 20 minutes after the
game had commenced there was a
crash, and a portion of the crowd on
the roof went down.
The fires in the furn had been
started for the first time Thursday, and
the vats were full of liquid glass. It
was upon these that the victims il
Some were killed instantly and otl
were slowly roasted to death. T i
who missed the furnaces rolled off, and
together with the workmen in the glass
works, saved the lives oi many by pull-
ing them away from their horrible rest
ing place.
Eighty-two persons. more or less in-
jured, were taken to the various hospi-
tals or removed to their homes. Most
of those killed or injured were boys
between 9 and 16 years old. Nearly all
of the victims had their skulls fractured
or limbs broken, and sustained serious
internal injuries.
Only a few were actually burned to
death. the majority being killed by the
fall. Several of those injured are in a
precarious condition, and the list of dead
may be increased to a score within a
day or two.

TUNNEL UNDER THE SEA.
French Engineer Proposes to Connect Spain
and Africa—A Costly Scheme.
The State Department at Washington
has received a report conveying further
information as to the proposed tunnel
from Europe to Africa under the Strait
of Gibralter from George H. Murphy,
consular clerk at Magdeburg, German
M. Berlier, the French engineer, who
has submitted the proposal of this pro-
ject to the Governments—of Spain and
Morccco, is said to have perfect con-
fidence in the feasibility of the plan.
The proposed length of the tunnel is
25 miles, 20 miles of this under the sea.
Railway connection in Europe is
planned by means of a line following
the Spanish coast and passing through
Tarifa and Algeciras into nce. In
Morocco a line would be constructed
from Tangier, connecting with the rail-
way system at Tiemcen. The cost of |
the tunnel is approximated at over $23. |

line between Spain and Algiers at about
$43.500.000.
LIQUOR LAWS IN MANILA.
SECRETARY ROOTS ARAY SCENE
FOR REORGANIZATION.
Would Have No Officer Above the Grade of
Lieutenant General—To Abolish Staff
Corps—Enlist 12,000 Filipinos.
The bill prepared by Secretary Root
for the reorganization of the army pro-
vides for a lieutenant general, six major
generals and 15 brigadier generals.
The number of captains, first lieutenants
and second lieutenants of the cavalry
and infantry are increased from 12 to
15 for each regiment. Provision for the
discontinuance of the present artillery
arm is made by organizing an artillery
cofps as coast artillery and Reld artil-
lery. The corps will have a chief of ar-
tillery detailed irom the colonels, and
while serving in this capacity he will
have the rank and pay of a brigadier
gener There will be 13 colonels, 13
lieutenant colonels, 30 majors, 182 can-
tains, 108 first lieutenants and 192 sec-
ond lieutenants. The increases in the
artillery shall be 20 per cent. each year
for five years, until the maximum <f
18,020 men is reached.
An important provision is that offi-
cers below the grade of lieutenaat
colonel, when detailed for duty in the
Washington bureaus of the army. shall
serve a vear in the line, but shall not
lose their places in the staff corps. This
amounts to ‘the abolition of the staff
corps as a permanent institution in
which officers serve throughout their
military career. The full effect of it will
not be worked out for several years, as
it is not proposed to make the provi-
sion. if it should be enacted into law,
applicable to present members of the
staff corps above the rank of lieutenaat
colonel.
The President is authorized to enlist
natives of the Philippine islands in or-
ganizations similar to the cavalry and
infantry, to the number of 12,000, the
officers to be selected from the regular
army. The highest officers in command
of the natives shall be majors. When
natives. show fitness for command the
President is authorized to make pro-
| visional appointments in the grade of
second and first lieutenants. A regiment
of Puerto Ricans also is authorized.

The best information now obtainable
that the plot was discovered on S
urday and on Sunday the conspirators
were taken red-handed.
The anti-British feeling in Cape
Colony is assuming dangerous propor-
tions, owing to false stories of British
barbarity in Orange River colony and
the Transvaal. Loyalists fear that the
Dutch congress next week will be the
signal for a rising, and they demand
that martial law be proclaimed through-
out the colony. The situation is declar-
ed to be graver than at any previous
period during the war.
Rats Three Feet Long.

Smithsonian Institution to collect
strange animals and plants has returned
loaded down with specimens and with
tales of adventure more strange than
the freaks they brought with them.
Rats of an edible species—some 3
feet long, including the tail, and weigh-
ing 18 pounds—were captured, but none
were brought back to this country
alive. All were caten by the hungry
adventurers. These rats—and the
snakes on the island. none of which is
venomous—have nearly all been eaten
by the famished Cubans and are very
scarce.

President Favors Good Roads.
The President Tuesday received a
delegation from the Good Roads con-
gress recently in session at Chicago.
The delegation presented a memorial
urging the President to recommend an
appropriation of $150,000 for the con-
struction of sample roads and the dif-
fusion of information on road making.
The President expressed his interest in
the purpose of the congress and said he
would be glad to further its aims.

EXCITING SCENES.
The Flood Causes an Embankment to Give
Way Precipitating the Cleveland
Fiyer Into the Water.
The Cleveland night express on the
Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad, leav-
ing Pittsburg at 11 o'clock, was derail-
ed and wrecked at 12:15 o'clock
Wednesday morning about a mile be-
yond Beaver, Pa. At this point the
track runs along the bank of the Ohio
river, and the locomotive and
plunged into the water.
One man was drowned and four per-
sons were seriously injured, all being
trainmen. None of the passengers were
badly hurt, but a number sustained min-
or injuries.
The wrecked train, which is known as
the Cleveland flyer, makes few stops be-
tween Pittsburg and Cleveland. It
was running at top speed when the ac-
cident occurred, and it is remarkable
that more people were not killed. The
train . was composed principally of
sleeping cars, which were well filled with
passengers.
The rains of the past few days had
nndermined the road bed and the bal-
last had been washed out. When the
train reached the point where the dis-
aster occurred the engine and the whole
train of cars were thrown into the riv-
er.
The wrecked cars luckily did not go
much beyond the river bank, the im-
pact of the train Jodging them in the
soft mud. The cars, however, were on
the edge of the swift current of the
river, and were quickly half filled with
water,
PROSPECTS OF PHILIPPINES.
They Are the Best Fossessions in the Orient
for Trade—An Interesting Letter
From Judge Taft.
judge Taft, president oi the Philip-
pine commission, in a letter, speaks of
the resources and needs of the islands
as follows: “With these islands com-
pletely pacified they are far and away the
best possessions in the Orient for pur-
poses of trade and development. Their
climate is better than the climate of
any tropical country I know, and the
capacity for agricultural, mineral and
commercial development would seem to
be unlimited. Even with the unsettled
condition of the country as it is at pres-
ent the tonnage of the vessels conling
ito the harbor of Manila, excluding
the government transports, is double
what it ever was in Spanish times, and
the same thing is true of the inter-
island tonnage. With the construction
of roads and railroads through these
islands, the opportunities for develop-
ment cannot be exaggerated. These
people are a people who take to the
luxuries of life, enjoy good clothes and
comforts: and markets among them for
cotton goods, for canned goods, for
flour, for petroleum and for machinery
can be created in a wnderfully short
time.

there is the introduction of American
business methods. The establishment of

prosecuted with zeal and intelligence.

total sales of domestic farm products to
foreign countries aggregated the enor-
mous sum of $3,186,000,000, an excess
of $800,0000,000 over the preceding
four-year period. The agricultural ex-
ports of the United States for the past
fiscal year amounted to $844,000,000.
The rapid growth of our export trade
to the Orient in recent years is most
striking. Five years ago our total ship-
ments of domestic merchandise to Asia
and Oceanica were valued at $43,000,000,
of which only $0.700.000 were agricul-
tural. There has been a steady increase
lin each succeeding year, until in 1900

Subject: Lack of Patience—Falin, Hope ana
Charity Bloom in Many Hearts Where
the Grace of Patience is Wanting-Pity
Rather Than Condemn the Erring.
{Copyright 1900.1
WASHINGTON, D. C.—This discourse of
Dr. Talmage is a full length portrait of a
virtue which all admire, and the lessons
taught are very helpful; text, Hebrews x,
36, ~*Ye have need of patience.”
Yes, we are in awful need of it. Some
of us have a little of it, and some of us
have none at all. There is less of this
grace in the world than of almost any
other. Faith, hope and charity are all
abloom in hundreds of souls where you
find one specimen of patience. Paul, the
author of the tékt, on a conspicuous occa-
sion lost his patience with a coworker,
and from the way he urges this virtue
upon the Hebrews, upon the Corinthians,
upon the Thessalonians, upon the Ro-
mans, upon the Colossians, upon the
young theological student, Timothy, I
conclude he was speaking out of his own
need of more of this excellence. And I
only wonder that Paul had any nerves left.
Imprisonment, flagellation, Mediterranean
cyclone, arrest for treason and conspir-
the wear and tear of preaching te
angry mobs, those at the door of a thea-
tre and those on the rocks of Mars hill,
left him emaciated and invalid and with a
b i sore eyes and nerves a-
jai . He gives us a snap shot of him-
self when he describes his appearance and
his sermonic delivery by saying, “In bodily
presence weak and in speech contempti-
ble,” and refers to his inflamed eyelids
when, speaking of the ardent friendship of
the Galatians, he says, “If it had been
possible, ye would have plucked out your
own eyes and have given them to me.”
We all admire most that which we have
least of. Those of us with unimpressive
visage most admire beauty; those of us
with discordant voice most extol musical
cadence; those of us with stammering
speech most wonder at eloquence; those
of us who get provoked at trifles and are
naturally irascible appreciate in others the
equopoise and the calm endurance of pa-
tience. So Paul, with hands tremulous
with the agitations of a lifetime, writes of
the “God of patience” and of “ministers
of God in much patience” and of “patience
of hope” and tells them to “follow after
patience,” and wants them to “run with
patience,” and speaks of those “‘strength-
ened with all might to all patience,” an
looks us all full in the face as he makes
the startling charge, “Ye have need of
patience.”
The recording angel, making a pen out
of some plume of a bird of paradise, is not
getting ready to write opposite your name
anything applaudatory. All your sublime
equilibrium of temperament is the result
of worldly suce But suppose things
mightily change with you, as they some-
times do change. You begin to go down
hill, and it is amazing how many there are
to help you down when you begin to go in
that direction. A great investment fails.
The Colorado silver mine ceases to yield.
You get land poor; your mills, that yield-
ed marvels of wealth, are eclipsed by
mills with newly invented machinery; you
get under the feet of the bears of Wall
street. For the first time in your life you
need to borrow money, and no one is will-
ing to lend. Under the harrowing worri-
ment you get a distressful feeling at the
base of your brain. Insomnia and nervous
dyspepsia lay hold of you. Your health
goes down with your fortune; your circle
of acquaintances narrows, and where once
you were oppressed by the fact that you
had not time enough to return one-half of
the social calls made upon you now the
card basket in your hallway is empty, an
your chief callers are your creditors and
the family physician, who comes to learn
the effect of the last prescription. N
ow
you understand how people can become
pessimistic and cynical and despairful.
You have reached that stage ygurself.
Now you need something that you have
not. But I know of a re-enforcement that
you can have if you will accept it. Yon-
der comes up the road or the sidewalk a
messenger of God. Her attire is unpre-
tending. She has no wings, for she is not
an angel, but there is something in her
countenance that implies rescue and deliv-
erance. She comes up the steps that once
were populous with the affluent and into
| the hallway where the tapestry is getting
faded and frayed, the place now all empty
of worldly admirers. 1 will tell you her
name if you would like to know it. Paul
baptized her and gave her the right name.
She is not brilliant, but strong. There is
a deep quiethood in her manner and a
firmness in her tread, and in her hand is a
scroll revealing her mission. She comes
from heaven. She was born in the throne
room of the King. This is Patience. ‘Ye
have need of patience.”
First, patience with the faults of others.
No one keeps the Ten Commandments
equally well. One's temperament decides
which commandments he shall come near-
est to keeping. If we break some of the
commandments ourselves, why be so hard
on those who break others of the ten? If
you and 1 run against one verse of the
twentieth chapter of Exodus, why should
we so severely excoriate those who run
against another verse of the same chap-
ter? Until we are periect ourselves we
qught to be lenient with our neighbor's
imperfections. Yet it is often the case
that the man most vulnerable is the most
hypeyeritical. Perhaps he is profane and
yet has no tolerance for theft, when pro-
fanity is worse than theft, for, while the
latter is robbery of a man, the former is
robbery of God. Perhaps he is given to
defamation and detraction and yet feels
himself better than some one who is
guilty of manslaughter, not realizing that
the assassination of character is the worst
kind of assassination. The laver for wash-
ing in ihe ancient tabernacle was at its
side burnished like a looking glass, so that
those that approached that laver might
see their need of washing, and if by the
gospel looking glass we discovered our own
need of moral cleansing we would be more
economic of denunciation. The most of
those who go wrong are the victims of cur-
cumstances, and if you and I had been
rocked in the same iniquitous cradle, an
been all our lives surrounded by the same
baleful influences we would probably have
done just as badly, perhaps worse.
e also have need of patience with slow
results of Christian work. We want to
see our attempts to do good immediately
successful. The world is improving, but
improving at so deliberate a rate; why not
more rapidity and momentum? Other
wheels turn so swiftly; why not the gos-
el chariot take electric speed? o not
<now. I only know that 1t is God's way.
We whose cradle and grave are so near to-
gether have to hurry up, but God. who
manages this world and the universe, is
from everlasting to everlasting. He takes
500 years to do that which He could do in
five minutes. His clock strikes once in a
thousand years. While God took only a
week to fit up the world for human resi-
dence, geogolgy reveals that the founda-
tions of the world were eons in being laid,
and God watched the glaciers, and the fire,
and the earthquakes, and the volcanoes as
through cemturies and millenniums they
were shaping the world before that last
week that put on the arborescence. A
few days ago my friend was talking with a
geologist. As they stood near a pile of
rocks my friend said to the scientist, “1
suppose these rocks were hundreds of
thousands of years in construction?’ And
the geologist replied, “¥Yes, and you ar £
say millions of years, for no one kau.
but the Lord, and He won't tell.”
If it took so long to make this world =%
the start, be not surprised if it takes
long while to make it over again now that
it has been ruined.
The Architect has promised to recon-
struct it, and the plans are all made, and
at just the right time it will be so com-
plete that it will be fit for heaven to move
in, if, according to the belief of some of
my friends, this world is to be made the
eternal abode of the righteous.
The wa f that temple is going up, and
my only anxiety is to have the one bric
that I am trying to make for that wal
turn out to be the right shape and smooth
on all sides, so that the Master Mason will
not reject it, or have much work with the
trowel to get it into place. I am respon-
sible for only that one brick, though you
may be responsible for a panel of the door
or a carved pillar or a glittering dome.
So we are God’s workmen, and all we
have to do is to manage our own hammer
or ax or trowel until the night comes in
which no man can work, and when the
work is all completed we will have a right
to say rejoicingly: “Thank God, I was
privileged to help in the rearing of that
temple! I had a part in the work of the
world’s redemption.”
Again, we have nced of patience under
wrong inflicted, and who escapes it in
some form? It comes to all people in pro-
fessional life in the shape of being misun-
erstood. Because of this, how many peo-
ple fly to newspapers for an explanation.
You see their card signed by their own
name declaring they did not say this or
did mbt do that. They fluster and worry,
not gelizing that every man comes to be
taken for what he is worth, and you can-
not, by any newspaper puff, be taken for
more than you are worth nor by any news
paper depreciation be put down. There
is a spirit of fairness abroad in the world,
and if you are a public man you are classi-
fied among the friends or foes of society.
If you are a friend of society, you will find
plenty of adherents, and if you are the
foe of society you cannot escape reprehen-
sion. Paul, you were right when you said,
not more to the Hebrews than to us, “Ye
have need of patience.” I adopted a rule
years ago which has been of great service
to me, and it may be of some service to
you: Cheerfully consent to be misunder-
stood. God knosvs whether we are right
or wrong, whether we are trying to serve
Him or damage His cause. When you can
cheerfully consent to be misunderstood,
many of the annoyances and vexations of
life: will quit your heart, and you will come
ingo calmer seas than you have ever sailed
on. The most misunderstood being that
ever trod the earth was the glorious Christ.
The world misunderstood His cradle and
concluded that one so poorly born could
never be of much importance. They
charged Him with inebriety and called
im a winebibber. The sanhedrin misun-
derstood Him, and when it was put to
the vote whether He was guilty or not of
treason He got but one vote, while all the
others voted “Aye, aye.” They misun-
derstood His cross, and concluded that if
He had divine power He would effect His
own rescue. They misunderstood His
grave, and declared that His body had
becn stolen by infamous resurrectionists.
He .so fully consented to be misunder-
stood that. harried and slapped and sub-
merged with scorn, He answered not a
word. You cannot come up to that, but
you can imitate in some small degree the
patience of Christ.
There are enough present woes in the
world without the perpetual commemora-
tion of past miseries. If you sing in your
home or your church, do not always choose
tunes in long meter. Far better to have
your patience augmented by the considera-
tion that the misfortunes of this 1ffe must
soon terminate.
This last summer I stood on Sparrow
hill, four miles from Moscow. It was the
place where Napoleon stood and looked
upon the city which he was about to cap-
ture. His army had been in long marches
and awful fights and fearful exhaustions,
and when they came to Sparrow hill the
shout went up from tens of thousands of
voices, “Moscow; Moscow!” do not
wonder at the transport. A ridge of hills
sweeps round the city. A river semicir-
cles it with brilliance. It is a spectacle
that you place in your memory as one of
three or foir mdst beautiful scenes in all
the earth. apoleon’s army marched on
it in four divisions. four overwhelming tor-
rents of valor and pomp, down Sparrow
hill and through the beautiful valley and
across the bridges and into the palaces,
which surrendered without one shot
resistance because the avalanche of troops
was irresistible. There is the room in
which Napoleon slept, and his pillow,
which must have been very uneasy, »
oh, how short his stay! Fires kindled in
all parts of the city simultaneously drove
out that army into the snowstorms under
which 95,000 nien perished. soon did
triumphal march turn into horrible demo-
lition!
To-day while I speak we come on a high
hill, a glorious hill of Christian anticipa-
tion. These hosts of God have had a long
march and fearful batiles and defeats have
again and again mingled with the victor
ies, buf to-day w: coms in sight of the
great city, the capital of the universe, the
residence of the King and te home of
those who are to reign wits Him for ever
and ever. Look at the towers and hear
them ring with eternal jubil
Look at the house of many mansions,
where many of our loved ones are. Be-
hold the streets of burnished gold and
hear the rumble of the chariots of those
who are more than conquerors. So fa
from being driven back, all the twelve
gates are wide open for our entrance. We
are marching on and marching on, and our
every step brings us nearer to the city
At what h... we shall enter we have no
power to foretell, but once enlisted amid
the blood washed host our entrance is cer-
tain. It may be in the bright noonday or
the dark midnight. It may be when the
air is laden with springtime fragrance or
chilled with falling snows. But enter we
must and enter we will through the grace
offered us as the chief of sinners. Higher
hills than any I have spoken of will guard
* that city. More radiant waters than
saw in the Russian valley willp through
that great metropolis. No raging confla-
gration shall drive us forth, for the only
fires kindled in that city wiil be the fires
of a splendor that sha'l ever hoist and
never die. Reaching that shining gate,
there will be a parting, but no tears at the
parting. There will be an eterhal farewell,
but no sadness in the utterance. Then
and there we will part with one of the
best frienas we ever had. No place for
her in heaven, for she needs no heaven.
While love and joy and other graces enter
heaven, she will stay out. Patience, beau-
tiful Patience, long-suffering Patience, will
at that gate say: “Good-bye. I helped you
in the battle of life, but now that you have
gained the triumph you need me no more.
1 bound up your wounds, but now they
are all healed. I soothed your bereave-
ments, but you pass now into the reun-
ions of heaven. 1 can do no more for you,
and there is nothing for me to do in a city
where there are no burdens to carry.
Good-bye. I go back into the wor | from
which you came up to resume my tour
among the hospitals and sick rooms and
bereft ha and almshouses. The
cry of the world’s sorrow reaches my ears,
and I must descend. Up and down that
poor suffering world I will go to assuage
and comfort and sustain until the world
itself expires and on all its mountains and
in all its valleys and on all its plains there
is not one soul left that has need of pa-
tience.”
